Back with another one!
Hey all. It’s been a minute! Work has been kicking my ass! I haven’t been practicing much as I want to but today I made it a point to not only get on my skates but to record some of it. I practiced one leg balance skills, crossovers, open/closed book transitions (still struggling here) and what I THINK are backward crossovers (vide attached so you tell me). As usual I bring for your personal entertainment, my awkward and horrible skating! Don’t go too hard on the kid though. This was my first time practicing this technique. 😩

@Albert Schepis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are a fool! Lmao! And stop with the marionette arms! Lol! I was poking fun at you! You already know you’re an amazing skater. I think being able to admit that I need help, advice, more practice and that I look like shit, along with sharing the embarrassing videos only serve to help me get better. That’s the goal. Also to make some good friends in this group. So I take all critiques to heart and incorporate them into my daily routine. One day it will click.

@Paulina Garcia welcome!
Starting Roller Derby to increase skills
I attended an interest meeting in my city for Roller derby last week. The new recruit program will start in a couple of weeks and I'm excited about it. I don't know how the sessions will be conducted, but I'll try to post my progress. I hope to level up my skating skills with the 12-week program. 😁

Oopsie
Fell backwards yesterday and automatically stuck my arm out and broke my wrist. It happened so fast. Any tips on fighting that instinct? I'm really frustrated. Also, I'll be wearing my safety gear from here on out.

Oh noooooo! I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending you all the wishes for a speedy recovery. Wrist guards are my best friend.
New skates, who dis?
Just got my setup from Riedell (they messed up the order). I’m ready to roll now! The setup: Riedell 120 Uptown PowerDyne Thrust Nylon Trucks (needed that flexibility for beginners) KwiK Swiss Nitride Bearings Sonar Demon EDM 95A wheels 62 x 43 Missing from order: Radar Varsity 62Ɨ31 (98A) wheels Have 85A wheels on the way for outside practice (tennis court).

Okay. Just found a possible solution. The cushions probably need to be changed out along with some more tightening of the trucks. I’ll let you know. Hopefully this solves it.

@Isabel Athina Mitzen love the new setup. It’s actually kinda scary the difference between the nylon and aluminum plates. I feel like I can get away with doing some things wrong on the nylons that I would really pay for if I did it on the aluminum ones. But it’s forcing me to work twice as hard to get it right. I’m more comfortable and confident on the nylon plates which is why I force myself to use the new ones as much as possible. The harder wheels are amazing but I like to practice on the hybrid wheels and once I feel like I have a skill down, I practice on the 98As and it feels so much better.
